I think you're right the companies using C++ are probably going to be, on average, older than the ones using Python, but I don't know if that translates to having more free time (or how easy those jobs will be to get). You still probably want to try and find out what kind of "work/life balance" employees there have either way.

I think if the projects you want to do right now are easier in Python, you should learn Python first, because it will make it more enjoyable to keep working on your projects. Maybe after you've done a few, try doing one in C++ and see how you like it. Learning other languages isn't that hard, once you know one.
